Godmanchester Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

  • I have been in touch with my freeholder to extend my lease for my flat in Godmanchester. Her conveyancing practitioners has been in contact with fees etc. I need a quote for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started Septembmer 199.
  • I bought a maisonette in Godmanchester. The start date for the lease was in 1991 for 99 years. Now I am looking to extend the lease. I am unclear about further expenses, could you tell me please how much I should expect to spend on this?
  • I plan on buying a flat based in Godmanchester. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The vendor’s conveyancing practitioners has served the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender The Royal Bank of Scotland. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I am a landlord of a block of flats in Godmanchester, and the tenants are in the process of being given lease extensions. I should hopefully get funds within a month or so. Are there any tax implications, the property is co-owned with my wife ?
  • We wish to extend our lease having owned the property for 2 years as of 13th May 2016. It has slightly more than 76 years remaining currently. Hoping to get a lease extension by way of an additional 90 years as expeditiously and stress free as is reasonably achievable.
  • Offer accepted on a a three bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Godmanchester, were told numerous times by the EA that the lease was in excess of 100 years, we have just had our mortgage offer sent through which states the lease as 82 years.Contracts were due to be exchanged in a couple of days. My query is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • I am looking for advice as I am interested in a property that has only a seventy four year lease and therefore requires a lease extension. Can I call someone to discuss my options please?
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for around fifteen years. It now has seventy three years left on the lease. Following a year of protracted negotiations through my property lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to LVT and would welcome advice.
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to purchase in Godmanchester. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, Nine hundred and ninety nine year lease from 1895. Its the garden area.
  • I'm intent on buying an apartment in Godmanchester valued at £256,000 the flat has something like 72 years remaining on the lease. I put in an offer subject to a lease extension... .. that was back in September, expecting I'd be in by now. They have just come back saying they are willing to knock £4k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm not sure if I should take them up on the offer
